If Help Had Come First: Lived Experts on Community Pathways
This panel of lived experts will reflect on their own journeys with child welfare system involvement and what kinds of supports might have helped their families before a report or investigation ever occurred. Composed entirely of individuals with lived expertise, the conversation will focus on the community-based supports that can create community pathways to strengthen families and keep children safe.
